Interdisciplinary Speech Communication: A Small School Alternative, Betty Jo Hyde Welch

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Set within statewide scrutiny of new undergraduate programs, this article describes the creation of an interdisciplinary speech communication degree at a small university campus. The program was developed under constraints requiring little duplication of existing state programs and reliance on current faculty, facilities, and resources. The article explains how faculty from several disciplines planned a curriculum combining speech, English, computer science, modern language, philosophy, psychology, and anthropology. It outlines a structure built around general education, a communication core, and a student designed collateral emphasis area. The article also reports subsequent program growth and movement toward independent departmental status. It contributes …

An International Visiting Fellowship Scheme: A United States And Australia Program, Harry Irwin

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Centered on communication program development in Australia, this article describes an international visiting fellowship at Kuring-gai College of Advanced Education in Sydney. It situates the program within the growth of applied communication studies in Australian higher education, especially the advanced education sector’s emphasis on vocationally oriented curricula. The article explains how the fellowship brought United States communication scholars to assist with curriculum development, staff development, teaching, research, learning materials, library resources, and professional seminars. It also discusses recruitment, selection, institutional fit, and the eventual suspension of the program because of financial constraints. The article contributes to communication administration by presenting …

The Effect Of Television Viewing On College Students : An Eeg Analysis Of Cerebral Asymmetry, William B. Sheffel

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The controversy over the effects of television viewing on human behavior has drawn a great deal of attention over the last decade. This study sought to investigate this area by looking at cortical response to television viewing.

The subjects in the study consisted of 24 men and 24 women (m=l9 .6 years) who were monitored for bilateral EEG alpha (8-13 Hz) brain wave production while viewing a television commercial (verbal and nonverbal/ spatial) and were then tested for recall at the end of the session.

The analysis of variance for a split-plot factorial design (S.P.F. 222.43; Kirk, 1968) revealed that …

Toward A Definition Of The Field: Local Constraints And National Coherence, E. Culpepper Clark

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Reflecting on communication studies at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, this article questions whether a national field definition would meaningfully resolve local problems of identity, curriculum, and administrative recognition. It describes a department combining speech communication, mass communication, and linguistics, where student demand and public perception have made mass communication more visible than speech. The article considers possible unifying labels, including rhetoric and public communication, while noting practical limits created by professional tracks, degree requirements, community needs, and institutional expectations. It argues that departments will continue to be judged by what they do rather than by field labels, and …

Saving Communication At Suny, Albany, Kathleen E. Kendall

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Describing a departmental survival effort at SUNY Albany, this case study recounts how the Department of Rhetoric and Communication responded when administrators considered dissolving it and redistributing faculty into other units. The account identifies several sources of vulnerability, including understaffing, faculty turnover, heavy enrollments, uncertain disciplinary fit within the humanities, and limited understanding of communication by campus colleagues. It also explains how student response, support from key administrators, faculty unity, strategic documentation, and a university wide study committee helped preserve the department. The case concludes with lessons about resource allocation, administrative location, collective faculty action, and the importance of building …

The Suny, Buffalo, Story, Charles R. Petrie

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Focused on the Department of Communication at SUNY Buffalo, this case study describes a prolonged administrative review shaped by budget reductions, declining student pools, public internal conflict, and loss of faculty lines. The department responded by arguing for communication’s student demand, disciplinary centrality, program quality, and relevance to the university mission, while also experimenting with resource plans, tighter requirements, larger course strategies, and use of part time professionals. When administrators proposed options ranging from phase out to program suspension or reorganization, the department issued an open letter addressing budgetary need, quality, centrality, demand, and internal strife. The case documents an …

Toward A Definition Of The Field: Local Constraints And National Coherence, John L. Sullivan

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Focused on the University of Virginia, this article examines how local institutional expectations can shape communication programs more strongly than national disciplinary definitions. It describes ACA’s regional efforts to identify common goals, methods, and subject matter in the field, then uses Virginia’s movement from speech and drama to rhetoric and communication studies as a case of program adaptation. The article argues that attempts to mirror the full field weakened coherence, while a focused humanistic curriculum in public discourse better matched institutional priorities and improved credibility. It also emphasizes scholarship, external review, naming, faculty hiring, and relations with the Speech Communication …

Priorities For Program Survival, Stanley F. Paulson

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Written from a dean’s perspective, this article identifies factors that can strengthen speech communication programs during periods of budget pressure and program review. It argues that communication benefits from broad societal growth, employer demand for speaking, listening, interpersonal, and writing abilities, and strong student interest, but also faces economic retrenchment and possible overproduction of academic doctorates. The article recommends four priorities for program survival: high quality research, stronger relationships with other disciplines, balance between theoretical study and competence based instruction, and development of public constituencies including alumni and campus partners. It frames these priorities not only as defensive strategies but …

Developing Communicative Skills In Non-Native Speakers Through Dramatic Techniques, Madeline Brand

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Designed for language and communication instruction, this article presents dramatic techniques as a way to develop oral communication skills among speakers for whom English is not a first language. It describes the limits of grammar drills and formal classroom settings, then frames drama as a practical method for creating motivation, reducing anxiety, and encouraging meaningful speech. The discussion distinguishes drama from theatre and emphasizes activities that draw students into realistic interpersonal situations. Techniques include pantomime, dialogs, improvisation, role playing, interviews, choral speaking, and storytelling. The article presents these methods as tools for increasing student participation, social confidence, listening, cultural awareness, …

The Japanese/American Interface: A Crosscultural Study On The Approach To Discourse, Hitomi Tamura

Dissertations and Theses

This study attempted to explore one aspect of the communicative styles of Japanese and Americans: their approach to discourse. In a literature review, four distinctive characteristics were surveyed: linear/nonlinear presentation, inductive/ deductive reasoning, explicit/implicit communication, and analytical/emotional statements. The American style of argument was characterized by:

1) a linear presentation as evidenced by its preference for a sequential paragraph development, its reliance on logic, and its direct introduction of the subject.

2) either inductive or deductive reasoning.

3) explicit communication as shown by its emphasis on the use of concrete language, definite qualifiers, clearly stated conclusions and a wider perspective. …
